Peoples Digest Online – A MONSTER dubbed the “Russian Hannibal Lecter” left his date horrifically disfigured after tying her up and sinking his teeth in to her. Anatoliy Ezhkov met up with Irina Gonchar after they struck up a conversation online.

After convincing her to come to his apartment for a romantic evening in Kurgan, Russia, where he plied her with alcohol, he then tied her up.

With her senses numb, Ezkhov then battered the brunette nurse before horrifically biting her.

In a disgusting attack, he then bit off her ears, nose and fingertips. During a sustained attack for four hours, he also took chunks out of her spine.

The police were called when neighbours were eventually alerted by Gonchar’s screams, and arrested Ezkhov.

Irina was taken to hospital suffering from concussion, a rib fracture and severe wounds to the rest of her body.

A relative of the victim said: “This torture lasted for four hours, this man tore at her body with his teeth, she is positive he tried to kill her. “He tried to smother her, but her neck was covered by blood and his hands got slippy. “Neighbours heard screams but they are used to these things as there are lots of alcoholics living in the hostel.”

Shockingly, Ezkhov has now been released on bail until the court hearing.

A police spokesman confirmed the incident happened but refused to comment.
